The Social Progress Index (SPI) is a measure of development that does not include
economic metrics, but focuses on social and environmental indicators, but provides a
parameter to define policies and then measure their results. With the purpose of measuring
the SPI of the province of Caylloma for the year 2018, this non-experimental research has
been created, with a descriptive scope and a quantitative approach. Using the SPI model,
information was collected from secondary sources, as well as from 372 households, through a
survey applied to heads of households. This was a representative sample of the 25,649 homes
that are in the province, selected at random, covering the 20 districts that make up Caylloma.
The results were tabulated and then analyzed using the STATA software, to know that
Caylloma has a Social Progress Index equal to 54.64 which places it in the "Medium Low"
range. While the results by dimension were the following: (a) 81.40 or "High" in Basic
Human Needs, (b) 40.20 or "Very low" in Fundamentals of Well-being, and (c) 42.33 or
again "Very low" in Opportunities . The results also showed great variability among the
districts, although the weaknesses in access to higher education and access to information and
telecommunications were repeated. While high values were found in personal safety, in
health and well-being and in tolerance and inclusion, among others.
